API

CSharpier can be used to programmatically format code.

This requires adding the CSharpier.Core nuget package to your project.

dotnet add package CSharpier.Core

Formatting C#​


var unformattedCode = "public class ClassName   { }";

var formattedCode = CSharpFormatter.Format(unformattedCode).Code;
var asyncFormattedCode = await CSharpFormatter.FormatAsync(unformattedCode).Code;

var options = new CodeFormatterOptions { Width = 60 };
var narrowerCode = CSharpFormatter.Format(unformattedCode, options);
var asyncNarrowerCode = await CSharpFormatter.FormatAsync(unformattedCode, options);

var codeWithErrorDiagnostics = "public class ClassName   {";
var result = CSharpFormatter.Format(codeWithErrorDiagnostics);
if (result.ErrorDiagnostics.Any())
{
    // result.Code will still be the unformatted code, it is not possible to format code that can't compile
    // result.ErrorDiagnostics will contain all the errors from attempting to format the code
}

Formatting XML​

var unformattedXml = "<Project Sdk=\"Microsoft.NET.Sdk\"><PropertyGroup><LangVersion>4</LangVersion></PropertyGroup></Project>
var formattedXml = XmlFormatter.Format(unformattedXml).Code;
